Can someone tell me why i have some light smoke coming from my #3 carb, is this normal? I have the air filter off and was trying to get the carbs to stop leaking. It appears the rebuilt float needle and seat worked since its not leaking, but after running it for a few minutes I decided to take it down the road to see how it ran. As soon as I put it into 2nd gear it started to cut out a little and making a popping or sputtering sound. I turned around and when I turned it off there was smoke coming from the #3 carb. Any suggestions?

There are two things that might cause this. A bad exhaust system cad cause reverse pulsing while bothe valves are slightly open. A sticking intake valve might cause this also.Skids (Sid Hansen)
